SYNTHALEN® W800 when you are looking for a thickening agent and suspending agent, it is important to consider the properties of the product you are using. The right product can make all the difference in your formulation—and SYNTHALEN® W800 has everything you need. SYNTHALEN® W800 is an anionic acrylic copolymer supplied as a low viscosity o/w emulsion. Its water dispersions, when neutralized, are characterized by medium viscosity, high yield value and clarity in a large range of pHs and temperatures. In water, the polymer starts to swell at pH 6. In the presence of other components such as surfactants, the viscosity builds up at lower pHs. Its immediate dispersion, clarity, and good compatibility with surfactants make SYNTHALEN® W800 the ideal polymer for the formulation of surfactant systems, especially when a high suspending ability is required. The applications for this thickening agent and suspending agent are endless; we recommend it for hair care, soap & bath, sun care & skin care.

UVASORB® ET is an effective UV-B sunscreen with an absorptivity of >1500 at 314 nm. In sun-care products, thanks to its high specific extinction, it is used in combination with other UV-filters to achieve a high SPF value. Concentrations up to 5% are recommended.

SYNTHALEN ® M is a thickening agent. It is a synthetic polymer well known and widely used in the cosmetic industry as a thickener and suspending agent thanks to its safety and versatility. It is obtained through a proprietary manufacturing technique that makes it practically solvent free (complying with USP). SYNTHALEN ® M dispersions are characterized by low viscosity but a suspending ability higher than other carbomers—making it the polymer of choice for the stabilization of fluid emulsions and suspensions. You can find SYNTHALEN M in Antiperspirants & Deodorants, Soap & Bath, Skin Care, Sun Care, Oral Care.

PNC 400 is a pre-neutralized synthetic polymer that can be used as thickener, suspending agent and stabilizer in most cosmetic products.
